Dude, I, I finally, I got the, uh, venue I wanted. Uh, I’m performing my dance quintet—you know, My Cycle—at Crane Jackson’s Fountain Street Theatre on Tuesday night, and, well, I’d love it if you came and gave me notes. Quoting @uncledoomer i went out to see my coworkers band once after being pestered for months and finally running out of excuses, and it was, no joke, this exactly. Related

Seaton: Friday Night Dance Fever My kids have a school dance tonight. It’s my son’s first of middle school and one of the last my daughter will see at this particular grade level. And of course, because I’m a sucker for this sort of thing, I’m chaperon…

7 Films I Love: 1. Perfect Days. Can you find enlightenment from cleaning toilets? After watching this Tokyo-based film, you might well think so. Perfect Days is beautifully shot and earned lead actor Kōji Yakusho (Shall We Dance) the Best Actor Award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. 2. The Wild Robot. This is a family-friendly, “This is so cheesy! Why am I crying?!” type of feel-good watch. This film was adapted from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated middle-grade novel The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. 3. Argentina, 1985. I absolutely loved this film. It explains the brutal story—… Related

Awesome! Insane stuff like this is why we open sourced Zork Quoting @emollick This impressed me: I asked GPT-6 Astra to turn Zork (the classic 1977 text adventure) into a full 3D action-adventure game It kept the original plot & puzzles, added fight scenes, and built all of the characters & environments directly in Threejs Play: Related

I've had to "unlock" my developer Apple ID once every 5 days on average for the past three months, and once per day for the past three days. Each time I do it, I have to perform a delicate dance to navigate what seems to be some kind of request throttling that gives me HTTP 503 responses during the unlock process, making it impossible to complete its several steps. Then my session times out and I have to start over. I've been trying to unlock my ID for about an hour so far this morning… Related

.@AmpCode is consistently 3-4 months ahead of every other harness in terms of discovering and optimizing the next workflow leap, feels like their only disadvantage is not being a model company and not being able to subsidize tokens. Insane to me that a model company hasn’t scooped them, would be a huge advantage now that most of the frontier models are equally capable. Related

Their words
if I was stuck in this traffic every day in a car, I would go insane. No amount of self driving would change that. We need ACs, but the US badly needs to warm up to public transportation.

CaPiTaLisM bAyBeEeEeE 🫠 (Erin loves SiriusXM which is why I put up with this. It’s for her car.) I hate that not only do I have to do this dance annually, but that it had two [or more?] stages of offers to give me as I continued to say “no thanks” Sigh. Related

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane! euroveg.eu

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
